Lets kick this off with something different!

Seeing as 100,000ad is so far away, and the fact that so much technology was evolved in just 5 years, I really see man looking totally different from the way we see ourselves today.

Here's my hypothesis. We see to evolve to be superior in form. Our minds will evolve to handle psionic sight, nourish ourselves through osmosis, move using a higher form of telekinesis, let go of arms and legs, manipulate our surroundings with telekinesis. Despite evolution, we still need to satisfy our need for pleasure and reproduction, so I left the basic genitalia of man with the evolution.

I don't think this is my final entry, but I'll still post it as progress.

By all the gods, goddesses geni and demon ever invented by the mind of man...I hope not. :'(

Here is a typical 100,000 AD man as I percieve it:

Realising how ridiculous it was that one would have to release one's grasp on either beer or hotdog in order to change channels, mankind has evolved a third arm out of his not insignificant belly.

6 colours and 1 for the background - probably the hardest I've worked at choosing an unusual and small pallette. Not enitirely happy with it, but it'll do.

Jens, my little color checking program here says that your sprite has got 47 colors.

Jens · Mon 03/09/2007 15:36:39

Right. DPaint has no function to display the amount of used colors so I usually count the (full) columns (of the palette display) and multiply that with 16. I have obviously been confused and mulitplied with 8 :

Changed that.

Alright, no more entries. Time to vote.

Tuomas · Sat 08/09/2007 00:09:43

Since when did we vote for sprite jams? Anyway, I guess I'll vote for Neil on this one.

Neil Dnuma · Sat 08/09/2007 01:02:48

I think it happened a few times in the past where the host disappeared.. not so this time, but why not?

Whatever, I give my vote to Brad Newson. I like.

Btw, Ben and Jens also had very good entries!

ThreeOhFour · Sat 08/09/2007 03:02:34

Nice work, Jens and Brad, but Neil Dnuma has my vote.

Stupot · Sat 08/09/2007 04:07:00

For what my 1 point is worth, I vote for Brad Newsom.

All the entries were good but I love Brad's for pure sci-fi vision.

cobra79 · Sat 08/09/2007 07:09:04

My vote for Jens.

Amazing idea and it fits so well.

Jens · Sat 08/09/2007 10:26:43

*lol* and vote for Neil Dnuma

space boy · Sun 09/09/2007 22:30:54

My vote goes to Brad Newsom. And if nobody else votes we'll have a tie between Brad Newsom and Neil Dnuma(5 points each).
I guess I forgot to add some rules that tell what to do in a tie situation. Woops. >.>
Being the host I could just choose a winner out of the two but that would make the whole voting procedure pointless.
There's one and a half hour left so keep voting. The next vote could determine the winner.

And the winner is Neil Dnuma! Congratulations!
Thanks to everyone who participated.

Neil Dnuma · Mon 10/09/2007 01:02:05

Wow, that's totally unexpected. And for such a silly entry...

Thanks for the votes, I'll think up a new jam.
